Lorraine was an amazing woman and always caring about YOUR challenges while she was dealing with her own battles. She once paid me a compliment I heard through another person which shows you that she compliments people when they themselves are not in her presence. My compliment to her is she was/is a great example for all of us to follow in kindness and being selfless. I'll miss your smiles at work Lorraine but will see you again down the line. Love you...

Lorraine saved me when I was a first year teacher only four years ago. She gave me reasons to laugh, she shared her goodies with me, we ate lunch together. She reminded me time after time that I was doing a good job. Literally daily, she had to tell me that and praise me for my efforts not only as a teacher but as a student because I was going to school full time for my masters.
She, Lisa and I would go to lunch often during the summer and on breaks and gab about life and such. I always looked forward to visiting because she lifted my spirits. My most favorite memory is the picture of the two of us at prom in 2019. We drove together and went out to dinner first then to the venue at the zoo. She was struggling with her energy but watching her interact with her students was something that has stayed with me. She loved each one of them, even the tough ones. You could tell they loved her too.
Lorraine didn't like change at school and she would grumble about it a lot so working with her wasn't always easy in that sense but somehow she'd put a smile on her face and muddle through usually mumbling under her breath and passing out goodies at the staff meetings.
As she grew weaker, she kept the hope that she could continue working. I think when she finally stopped working, she was so happy to be with her daughter Stacey and be in her home. When I visited, you could tell she was peaceful with what was going to happen.
Lorraine blessed my life more than she may have known. I'll miss her Mississippi Mud for my birthday and her laugh and jokes.

I remember one day struggling in my wheelchair to get around at work. Lorraine offered me her electric wheelchair to use because she was worried about me. This was while she was fighting cancer herself. Of course I politely declined but I will always remember her kindness and willingness to help even when she was struggling.

I'm writing to tell you that I love you and that no matter where you are in the universe, you are now and always will be in my thoughts, memories and in my heart. I know from my past experience with my wife, that many who know and love you are muted by grief and there is a great difficulty to find words for such things. My own cancer experience, with my wife, has forever altered how I view life and death, and though I feel a tremendous sadness that you may soon be in another place where perhaps we can no longer be in touch, those feelings are tempered by my unshakable belief that life – just as it is – is absolute perfection. I know from our conversations that in having a complete trust in life's ultimate plan and purpose as we both do, there is a comfort we feel in this mystery that lies ahead for you and me and all of us. Of course, it's those we leave behind who suffer - perhaps the most - but life, at least from my perspective, is always about growth, even though it hurts like hell at times. Being human, I have that familiar ferocious desire to hold on to all we love. I know I can't hold on to you my friend, but I can always keep you close to my heart. There is a place there just for you. And I will never let that go. I promise. Saying goodbye is learning what to hold onto and what to let go of. I want you to know that you are leaving permanent imprints in my character; and I am grateful that we crossed paths and that you touched my heart and I am the better for it.
